Some provided advice for professional decisions and career management, others access to opportunities, and some just took me along for the ride to “watch & learn”. All of those contributed so much to make me a better professional and gave me some really interesting opportunities in my career. In the last few years, I started being a mentor myself and I am really enjoying the experience of helping others grow and fulfill their career dreams.</p><h1id=what-benefits-did-you-gain-from-working-with-mentors-early-onclass="relative group">What benefits did you gain from working with mentors early on? <spanclass="absolute top-0 w-6 transition-opacity opacity-0 ltr:-left-6 rtl:-right-6 not-prose group-hover:opacity-100"><aclass="group-hover:text-primary-300 dark:group-hover:text-neutral-700"style=text-decoration-line:none!importanthref=#what-benefits-did-you-gain-from-working-with-mentors-early-onaria-label=Anchor>#</a></span></h1><p>The main benefit was the ability to tap into someone else’s experience and seniority and learn from their past experiences. It allowed me to get a glimpse of the future and accelerate some career milestones I wanted for myself. As an example, I never had the dream of working or living abroad, but after talking about it with my mentors (that had that experience) I learned so much about what it could bring me professionally and personally that when that opportunity came I was better prepared to make the right decision.
